A new rescue truck arrived earlier this week at the Charlottetown Fire Department.
The truck replaces one purchased in 1992.
The tender was awarded last year to Micmac Fire & Safety Source and was valued at $765,417.
In a news release, the city said the 2018 single-axle heavy rescue truck will equip firefighters with advanced tools to respond to emergencies.
